What if every child who came to the ER got the right care, as quickly as possible, without extra tests or transfers?
ARPA-H PM @LSMayMD joined Grand Rounds at Children’s National to tackle pediatric emergency readiness and unnecessary care. The vision is getting kids to where they need to be with even faster triage when they are critically ill.

All #EPs know #COVID19 increased #antibioticresistant #infections & deaths, but it also pushed #antibioticstewardship to the back burner.
Now #EDs have to help reverse that, say @LSMayMD of @UCDavisHealth & @DrMichaelPulia of @uwsmph. #FOAMed @writergina tinyurl.com/bdz2nxxj

Today's ED operations are crumbling. LOS for admitted pts rose 32% from 2019 to 2022. Pts leaving without treatment rose 86% (2.9% to 5.4%). Pts have longer waits, are more likely to leave, and board for long periods after admission. A major cause for this is nursing shortages.
Excited to start this new role and explore #digitalhealth #diagnostics #biotech opportunities with innovation partners @Digitalcolab #aggiesquare
Excited to announce that @LSMayMD will be our new Director of Innovation and External Partnerships! This is in addition to her current role as Director of ED and Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship. Congratulations to Dr. May! @nkuppermann

Simulated disaster exercises are just one way we keep our department prepared to best serve our community in times of need.
Our faculty, residents, nurses, technicians and surgical colleagues displayed amazing teamwork when put through the test!
More than 100 staff members and emergency responders from the community took part in a simulated plane crash exercise. This exercise tested @UCDavisEM's emergency management plans, trained staff, and helped improve the medical center's ability to deal with disasters.
Had a blast talking about ED antibiotic stewardship at the university of Nevada Reno internal medicine grand rounds today #antibioticstewardship #mitigate #meded

Our ED has implemented a new program to help our providers prescribe PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis) to patients that are at high risk of acquiring HIV.
🧵 below on details of how we are removing barriers to care for these patients who are often otherwise marginalized:
Finally able to offer PrEP to our ED and hospitalized patients
This program is a collaboration between @BridgeToTx and PHASE, our department's public health screening program.
Huge s/o to @AimeeMoulin1, @LSMayMD, Becks Wittenberg, PharmD and Tina Ho, PharmD for their incredible work on this project!
Great presenting on the role of diagnostics in ED antibiotic stewardship! @JPhillips_POC #aacc #rochediausa

It was so much fun leading these interactive workshops with like-minded antibiotic stewardship champions! Thank you for inviting me
Full house x 2 for @LSMayMD's #MADID2022 workshop on antimicrobial stewardship in the #emergencydepartment and #urgentcare
There are still major gaps in the diagnosis of sepsis. I was recently interviewed about a promising and potentially game changing technology #sepsis #pointofcarediagnostics
.@Inflammatix_Inc explores the unmet needs associated with the diagnosis of acute infection and sepsis and how new diagnostic technologies are helping to improve the standard of care.

This weekend I had the privilege of experiencing what it was like to be a patient being cared for at a hospital that seem to have decided actually caring for patients was too hard. A thread /1
This is a great perspective. Even if a pathogen is endemic, it doesn't mean it doesn't cause harm. Cue in malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV. Best way to limit new harmful variants is to limit unconstrained spread. #variants #viruses #HarmReduction nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

This was a great opportunity to get the word out on ongoing efforts to apply rigorous implementation science in emergency care research. @LSMayMD @SAEMEBM @epidemicdoc
